On the home stretch getting ready for the HDTS Gem Mineral Expo this weekend at #paramontranch ! Here is another one of my favorites: Desert Rose is the colloquial name given to crystal clusters of gypsum or baryte. The crystals form a circular array of flat plates, giving the rock a shape similar to a rose blossom. These rosettes tend to form in arid sandy conditions, like the evaporation of a shallow salt basin. Metaphysically Desert Rose helps to dissolve self-imposed programs that have been running for far too long, releasing them, while assisting in finding an appropriate replacement.
